Mid 90s family friendly Christmas action comedy with Arnie Schwarzenegger as a workaholic dad who keeps breaking promises to his kid (a young Jake Lloyd. Yes, that Jake Lloyd who would later play kid Anakin Skywalker, who grows up to become Darth Vader) and ends up hunting all over town on Christmas Eve for this seasons must-have Christmas present: a turbo-man action doll.

Amusing enough, but not one of Arnie's better kid-friendly offerings IMO.

"We meet again at last. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master."
"Only a master of evil, Darth"

That quote is obviously where the author got the title of this novel from, so you would expect it to follow Darth Vader (one of the few things Disney has gotten right, since they acquired Lucasfilm in the early 2010s).

While he is a main character, it's actually not *really* his story - instead, it largely follows Imperial Colonel Halland Goth, leader of the Emperor's crimson-coated bodyguards, who has a very personal interest in Vader's off-the-books (and unsanctioned) mission.

"Did you ever here the tragedy of Darth Plageuis the Wise?"

That should give you a clue to Vader's mission in this, especially as we now know one of the main reasons for his fall to the Dark Side was fear of Padme's death.

I've read worse Star Wars EU books, but I've also read better.

I like Darth Vader before seeing this one, but isn't he AMAZING! I know you're not supposed to like the villain, but we know pretty much everybody just loves Vader. The atmosphere of this movie is definitely more ominous, as it should be. The story is darker, it draws you into this building conflict that you're just waiting for someone to make the first strike (even when you've seen it umpteen times!). Many fans claim this as their favorite of the films, but I can't separate any of the original titles. I truly enjoy them as a full presentation, just with breaks in between each story segment. Empire Strikes Back is of course darker, but no less enjoyable for the whole family.

This is one of the best books to come out of the new canon. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters from the Star Wars universe, and I was glad that he got his own book. Tarkin was raised on a rural, rough planet, and it's definitely a big part of who Tarkin is. Tarkin is also aware of who Darth Vader is, as the Emperor had them working together prior to Anakin turning to the dark side.

Has the feel of original series (2 more)

BB8

Hans Solo and Princess/ Genral Leia are back

Star wars for a new generation

The force awaken opens up star wars for a whole new generation whilst the original trilogy had the world enraputed with this epic adventure series and revolutionized the way we see Sci Fi, Fantasy today Phathom menace, attack of the clones and revenge of the sith, didnt quiet capture the sprirt of the original trilogy. However Force awakens come out swinging.

Not only do we see our old favorites of Han solo Cewbacca Princess now General Leia the new characters leave a force of there own you cant help but admire Rey strength and determination. Fall in love with little BB-8. Finn ability to feel even though hes a storm trooper bring up a whole new level of meaning to established characters from the series.

Ive always like the dark side more than the light as my friendtell me i only ever like assholes so obviously Darth Vader is my favorite star wars character however Kylo Ren is no Darth Vader. However much he may wish to be and although the ending cements his darkness between Vader and Kylo there no choice who i think is the better villian so this film get a 9/10 rather than 10/10
